Twenty minutes later.
Sitting by the window of the coffee shop, Cheng drawing was holding a glass full of boiled water with his hands, and his eyes were slightly lowered.
Opposite her, the expression on Shi Yi's face was constantly changing. He was surprised, angry, and disappointed...

"It's so cold. Give me some." Cheng drawing reached for the cup in front of her and said with a smile.
Shi Yi glanced at the steaming cup in her hand and his heart ached. "Xiao Tu, don't be like this."
"What's wrong?"
"Your hands are all red from the heat."
"Is that so?" Cheng drawing looked down at his hand. It was indeed slightly red. The water in the glass was still very hot, but why did she feel so cold? This coldness came from his palm all the way to his heart.
Just now, she was like a storyteller, calmly telling her what had happened in the past month. She thought that it would make her feel better, but that was not the case.

The scars could not be healed by removing them again and again. On the contrary, every time the scars were removed, they would be covered with blood.
"That woman's name is Feng Jing, isn't it? I'm going to cripple her right now!" She patted the table and jumped up from the sofa.
She was still so impulsive and irritable.
Cheng drawing hurriedly grabbed her hand and said with a bitter smile, "Right now, Lin Yuan is just an unrelated stranger to me. Feng Jing is the same."

"Look at you, you're always so aggrieved." She sat down, wiped her wet eyes with her hand, and stared at her. "So is Shen Muxi? Is he good to you?"
"It's pretty good. Look, he even gave me a Ferrari." Cheng drawing pointed at the Ferrari downstairs with his chin.
"I know a little about that Young Master Murong. It is said that he is strict and decisive when he does things, and he has no face in the business field. He is cold-blooded and ruthless to the extreme."
"This is just written by some financial reporters. It's not so exaggerated." Cheng drawing smiled. In order to change the topic, she continued, "Well, let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you. How have you been studying abroad for the past six months?"
"Very good. Everything went well." She picked up her cup of coffee and took a sip. She was still in a low mood because of Cheng drawing's experience.
"Are you going back to China to develop?"
"Okay." Shi Yi took another sip of coffee and stared at her. "Actually, I came back with a surprise to tell you, but I didn't dare to show off in front of you after your incident."
Cheng drawing couldn't help laughing. "Come on, I know you can't stand it. Just say it."
"You're so annoying. I really feel sorry for you."
"Although my life is a mess, I still hope that you can be happy. Your happiness is also my happiness."
"Then I'll really say it."
"Go ahead."
Shi Yi's beautiful lips curved slightly, and a happy smile reached her eyes. "This time, I met a rich and handsome boyfriend abroad. We basically fell in love at first sight, and he also invested in a movie for me. In other words, I will soon become the leading actress of a big film!"
"Really?" Cheng drawing exclaimed with joy. Then he thought for a moment and said, "It can't be a lie, can it? Now there are many rich people lying to the actresses in the name of investing in film and television."
"No, he is the future successor of the Vast Group. He is unmarried and has no girlfriend. I have secretly investigated him."
Although Cheng drawing did not know the future successor of the vast group, the vast group still knew about it. It was one of the top real estate companies in the country and could compete with the Shen Group.
"It seems that you are right to choose to study acting abroad this time." Cheng drawing smiled at her with a warm smile and looked her up and down. "Miss Shi, whose taste is far better than ours, has finally found her true love. It's really not easy!"
"He will come over later. Remember to give me some reference," Shi Yi said with a smile.
"That's a must."
She and Shi Yi had known each other for five years, and their relationship had always been very good. Shi Yi was fashionable and beautiful, and she yearned for the entertainment circle. Unfortunately, she had been in the entertainment circle for four or five years without any success. Half a year ago, she decided to study abroad in a fit of anger, and she only came back today.
Half a year ago, when they broke up at the airport, she took Cheng drawing's hand and said with a confident look on her face, "Let's wait for my sister to come back. I'll pay all the medical expenses for Auntie and the hospital fees. Let Lin Yuan go as far as he can! And my mother... She can gamble as she wants. I will never be chased after by debts again."
Cheng drawing was so moved by her that tears welled up in his eyes. Although... she was not optimistic about the complicated entertainment circle, nor was she optimistic about the determination of fighting alone without any background.
But this was her dream. She could only pray for her silently behind her back, hoping that her dream would come true as soon as possible.
"He's here." A delighted voice rang out.
Cheng drawing woke up from her memories and followed her gaze to look at the entrance. There were many people coming and going at the entrance, and most of them were men. For a moment, she didn't know which one was the tall, rich, and handsome boyfriend she was talking about.
It wasn't until she left her seat and went up to hug one of the men's arms like a little bird that Cheng drawing finally saw it clearly. But... how could it be him? She blinked her eyes hard. Yes, the man in her arms was the callous man who had just been hit by her and the car was broken.
"It's him? How could it be him who is acting like a boyfriend?"
"Mr. Shi, this is my good sister, Cheng drawing. I've mentioned it to you." Shi Yi dragged Gu Zihua to the table and pointed at Cheng drawing with a smile. Then he said to Cheng drawing, "Xiao Tu, he's Gu Zihuan."
Cheng drawing was holding a key in his hand and gently turning the coffee in his cup. He tilted his head and calmly looked at the man named Gu Zicai.
Yes, he was very handsome, very tall, very rich, and very playboy. Just now, he had seen the heroic spirit of a Bugatti to his ex-girlfriend, and she also accidentally knew that he had lived in that woman's residence last night.
"Miss Cheng, nice to meet you." Gu Zihao opened his mouth and looked at her with a faint smile.
"Nice to meet you." There was a hint of mockery in Cheng drawing's faint smile.
Shi Yi looked back and forth at the two people with strange reactions. "What's wrong? Do you know each other?"
"I don't know him." Cheng drawing looked away from Gu Zihao, picked up his coffee, and took a sip.
Gu Zihao stayed in the coffee shop for a while and then left, claiming that he had something to do. Looking at the joy on his face, Cheng drawing couldn't bear to be upset. He didn't mention anything about Gu Zihe and that woman. He just solemnly reminded her, "Yes, men have a lot of faces. You must see through them every time."
"Got it. I'll be careful." She stuck out her tongue at her.
Because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Cheng drawing and Shi Yi had a meal together. They went shopping for a while before they got ready to go home.
Shi Yi bought a light blue shirt for Gu Zichen from Hu Ma Ni's counter. Seeing her carefully picking out the shirt, Cheng drawing's heart was filled with sadness. It seemed that even if she tried, she would not be able to escape the fate of love in the end.
It was already past ten o'clock when he returned to the Shen family's house. Cheng drawing glanced at the car and did not see Shen Muxi's car. It seemed that he had not returned yet.
The living room on the first floor was quiet. It was estimated that everyone was asleep at this time. Cheng drawing quietly went upstairs and took out pajamas from the closet to take a shower.
Warm water poured down from the top of the lotus cloak and kissed every inch of her skin. She closed her eyes and did not think about anything, quietly enjoying such comfort.
She thought that no one would disturb her if she hid in this small world, but the bedroom door was pushed open by a rough force.
Cheng drawing suddenly opened his eyes and leaned over to listen to what was happening outside. Then, the bathroom door was also pushed open, and Shen Mu Xi's figure appeared in front of her.
There was no warning, and his movements were rough.
Cheng drawing shouted in a low voice and quickly pulled the bath towel on the hanger and wrapped it around his body. He stared at him with anger and fear.
"Get out!" Cheng drawing roared angrily at him.
Cheng drawing's first impression was that Shen Muxi was drunk? He was crazy because she had seen that this man's wine quality was not very good, but his expression didn't look like it. His eyes were as red as fire, and his expression was angry. His gaze was as sharp as a sharp sword, as if he wanted to eat her.
Cheng drawing quickly recalled his words and deeds today in his mind. He didn't seem to have offended him. Why was he so angry?
The water on the lotus canopy was still flowing. Cheng drawing raised his hand and turned off the water.
Shen Muxi's eyes were burning with anger. He didn't have any other thoughts about the half-naked body in front of him. The moment he rushed in, he was still holding back his anger, but in the end, he couldn't help but stare at her and growl, "What's wrong with the car?"
Cheng drawing came to a sudden realization.
It turned out that he was so angry because he saw that she had broken the car.
It was just that he had just broken a car light. Why was he so angry? He had even broken into her bathroom. It was just a small sum of money for him to send the original dowry to the 4S shop.
His height made Cheng drawing very annoyed. She wrapped herself in a bath towel and walked out of his side. Then she turned her head and looked at him indifferently. "Since you gave me the car, it's mine. It's also mine if you break it."
"Who said that the car is yours?" Shen Mu Xi caught up with her and pulled her arm. Cheng drawing didn't expect that. He grabbed the bath towel in his hand and loosened it, and it instantly slipped to the ground.
"Ah!" Cheng drawing screamed again. He hurriedly picked up the bath towel on the ground and wrapped it around his body. He glared at Shen Muchen and said grumpily, "What do you want?"
Shen Muxi, who was a little less angry, turned around and put his back on her. "Go and put on your clothes."
There was no need for him to say that Cheng drawing couldn't wait to put on his clothes. When she came out, there was only half of Shen Muchen's anger left, but his tone was still cold. "Be careful next time, don't hit me again."
"Young Master Shen, I got into a car accident today. All you care about is your car. Don't you want to know if my people are okay?" Cheng drawing was speechless.
This man was really as good as Lin Yuan. They were all cold-blooded animals.
Shen Muxi glanced at her. "Aren't you all right?"
Although he said so, in fact, Cheng drawing did not expect him to care about his own life. It was not strange for him to have such a reaction.
"Give it to me." Shen Muxi reached out his hand to her.
"What?" Cheng drawing glanced at his outstretched hand in confusion.
"The car key."
"Oh, I plan to ask Li to send the 4S shop tomorrow."
"No, I'll go."
"Why do you have to go there in person for such a trivial matter?" Cheng drawing did not understand.
"Don't talk so much nonsense!" Shen Muxi impatiently choked on her.
Cheng drawing pointed at the car key on the table in the wine cabinet and said, "Here, take it."
After that, she ignored him and went to the big bed, lifted the quilt, and lay down.
Shen Muxi took the car key from the wine cabinet and glanced at the back of Heavenly Painting. He squeezed out a sneer from between his lips and teeth, then turned around and walked away quickly.
In less than a minute, Cheng drawing heard the engine of the Ferrari getting farther and farther away.
